Good Decisions Are Inconvenient Decisions

We tend to think that making the "right" decision should feel good—clear, affirming, maybe even a little empowering. But the truth is, good decisions are often inconvenient.

But that doesn’t mean they’re wrong—it usually means they matter.

The Healing Power of Rest And Doing Less: Slowing Down is Essential for Trauma Recovery

When it comes to healing from trauma, many people feel an overwhelming urge to “fix” themselves and get through it. The initial reaction is often to do more—to read every book, attend every workshop, and analyze every moment of their past in an effort to move beyond it.

6 Steps to Mindfully Disrupt Autopilot Mode - A Daily Practice

Most of us move through our days on autopilot more than we realize — thinking the same thoughts, reacting the same ways, and repeating patterns without even noticing.

Our adaptations and defenses have been carefully crafted and cemented over a lifetime. They're not flaws. They're ingenious survival strategies. They've kept us safe, functional, and adaptive (even when it doesn't feel that way).
